Background/objective here is to get clients that VPN in to have access to the LAN they are VPN-ing into. Everything is on EC2.
To get this working, I'm trying to set up direct-access on the Win2k12 box where Remote Access is set-up. Once of the perquisite checks when you launch the "Enabled Direct Access Wizard" is verifying one of the network adapters is configured to have a static IP address (I do not, nor am I aware of a way to make that a reality on EC2!) I can choose to suppress that warning and continue...to a point...eventually I am prompted to "Type the public name of IPv4 used by clients..." prompt pictured below. No value I have tried (host name, fully qualified host name, IP) seems to work failing with the below errors
host name : "The public name of IPv4 address is invalid. Modify the settings"
fully qualified host name : "An internal adapter with a valid IP address, IPv6 enabled, DNS settings, and a domain profile cannot be located"
IP: "The public name of IPv4 address is invalid. Modify the settings"
I'm thinking this could all be due to the failed pre-requisite, though I'm not 100% sure. Ultimately, I'm beginning to be become unsure if this is possible [by using direct access] or if it is possible to accomplish my goal by using a different approach. Thanks in advance.
